I just changed my oil and filter at 680km from new with Penrite semi synthetic oil of the specified weight and the bike feels amazing. The clutch is smoother, the foot gear lever is softer and the engine is quieter and sounds really happy.
Man, what a pain. I wish Honda had just used a modern oil filter instead. Useful video. I've never encountered this type of filter before so I wanted to watch someone do it first.
One thing to note, when draining and nothing else runs out. Lean the bike over in the opposite direction, and back over a few times. Good amount of oil will come out
Thanks for checking out the video!

Where did you get the red foldable shifter?/ I bought one from you and Tusk, but didn't fit the Rally, also bought the Brake pedal.. Didn't fit either.. Had to send both back... Do NOT fit the Rally.. thx...
First time I did the oil change on my 250l I put in the oil filter backwards and it clanged around for a couple seconds when i stareted it and I realized I did it wrong.
What best oil viscosity to use in CRF250 Rally? Some say 10W30, other 10W40 or 10W50. And how many mililiter for normal oil change?Thank you in advance
Wayne Sowerby Who cares? The people who want to protect their investment. You don’t just put whatever oil you have in it, you follow what the people who made the bike say.
@@meade4573 (inhale) DUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! that was his sarcastic point. You two are probably in full agreement. Why would anyone, on a new and factory specced motor, second guess the designers on viscosity, except for extreme operating condition demands, or changing viscosity once your bike gets old and shitty in its tolerances. But really, dude...DUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
@@meade4573 yeah, lol. It was in response to you not getting Wayne's comment, which was "do what the manual says" You were taking him seriously, he was joking. Just being a troll...yeah i feel better!LOL!
Your best bet would be to go to the OEM parts finder and locate that bolt. After you click on the link below just enter in the year and model of your bike. The bolt you're looking for should be in the "Right Crankcase Cover" schematic and I believe the part # you need is 90012-KYJ-900.

In your opinion is the Honda really worth all the upgrades or you’re better off just getting the base model and upgrading it with what you want? I’m 5 foot 10 I’ll do probably 60 Road 40 dirt
It a bout the preference.. Either way is good I think..but it's not bad to build by stock one, little by little.. to get more attachment to your bike,and the last help you to ride better..
You might also want to consider the new 300L, there's a increase of +/- 3 BHP and they shed +/- 8 pounds of the overall weight. May not seem much, but on a small bike, it can really make a big difference. On my 250L Rally, those are exactly the upgrades I wanted to do by installing an EJK and replacing the exhaust line with a FMF system. The whole upgrade would've cost about $750 to give you an idea.
Ahh, metric oil volume please!?? Honda is a fricken Japanese brand... like the entire rest of the world, they use METRIC, why not specify the oil capacity in metric as well in this vid? Sometimes I wonder if Amerika should be thought of as a 3rd world country :|
Did my first oil change today on my crf 250L and it was a success
Thank you for posting these videos! So clear, concise, and clean!

For a 300l. Same same
Man, what a pain. I wish Honda had just used a modern oil filter instead.

Eh spin on filters can easily get damaged off road.
What a pain? For real? This is the easiest oil change I’ve ever done.
One thing to note, when draining and nothing else runs out. Lean the bike over in the opposite direction, and back over a few times. Good amount of oil will come out
Thank you! Just read this as I’m in the middle of the change and a ton came out!
Thank you! Always great to see it rather than read it.
Good review ....any other videos on same bike for maintenance ?

Where can I find a funnel with a valve in it like you use in the video to measure and refill the engine oil?
Perfect!!! Thanks for this tutorial!
Great video thank you ! you guys are pros!!
Thanks to you sir.. God bless!
Thank you!!!
Thanks to your video.
I did it.
Theres also a torx drain plug under the engine what is it for? I have a hole for each on my skidplate
I am not sure we need to remove the skid plate given the drain plug has a hole in the skid plate.
thanks a lot bro
You're welcome! Thanks for checking out the video!

Can it do 12k km with single oil change its amazing
The tusk oil filters for this bike do not seal properly. The seal gets pushed into the filter during installation because it is incorrectly sized.
Why not tell us the size of the sockets?
It's company proprietary information
First time I did the oil change on my 250l I put in the oil filter backwards and it clanged around for a couple seconds when i stareted it and I realized I did it wrong.

Robb LaNorman do you feel better after typing that?

What spray did you use for cleaning? Can I use WD40? Thanks
Probably brake cleaner
Nick Moder won’t brake parts cleaner destroy the paint?
nice except the measurements in something like quarts so its useless for everybody too lazy to check for quorts into Liters :D :D
I lost one of the four bolts that covers the filter housing. Where can I get a replacement. Thanks.

hi! sir the filter is same CRF250L & CRF250 RALLY?
Yes, the 250L and the 250L Rally use the same oil filter.
What filter fits the 2018? Not the same as the 2017.
And HOW are you getting the oil filter to stay in place?? You cut away.
The back side of the filter should hold itself to the motor.
Can I use yamalube 10w40?
Honda recommends 10W-30 for this bike but 10W-40 will work fine if that's what you have.
How come you did use a torque wrench tho? You do give the right specs!
what engine oil is recommended for it?
Honda recommends the Pro-Honda GN4 10W-30 oil.
Can you get away with tightening without a torque bar?
You can.. Just don't over tide..
It looks like you can change the oil without removing the shrouds. It even says oil underneath.Why do you take the coverings off?
Presumably to be able to change the oil filter as its covered by the plastics
Never change the oil at 8k, every 4000mi at maximun. Trust when I say, my CRF250L has 36000mi and still ticking strong.
Wayne Sowerby drill baby drill!
The harder you ride them, the more you change oil.
where can i get the filter

You're gonna want to upgrade the rally too.
